UFO – A Conspiracy Of Stars (SPV)

Twenty Two Studio Albums! Can you imagine being in a band that has done 22 studio albums? And that doesn’t include all the live albums, side-projects and solo releases. Now OK, from the original line-up, only singer Phil Mogg and… Continue Reading →

Dødsfall – Kaosmakt (Osmose)

The stars seem to be drifting into alignment for Dødsfall at the moment. I say this not only because I’m still reeling from the impact of the excellent Skygge album Antiqua Ignis last month, which featured Dødsfall vocalist Adramelech. Okay… Continue Reading →

Legion of Andromeda – Iron Scorn (At War With False Noise / Unholy Anarchy)

Ting, ting, ting, dum, dum, dum, plod plod, plod, growl, growl, growl, thump, thump, thump, judder, judder, judder, gibber, gibber, gibber and repeat for 45 minutes and there ladies and gentlemen you have it, welcome to Legion Of Andromeda. I… Continue Reading →

Decaying – One to Conquer (Hellthrasher Productions)

Finland’s war commentating death metal mercenaries have moved on a bit in the 3 years since I last took stock of their material. There has been an album and EP since the most excellent ‘Encirclement’ album. That focused lyrically more… Continue Reading →

Insurrection – Catatonic (Big Bad Wolf)

Dutch melodic death metal come thrash slingers Insurrection formed in 2010 and set about making their reputation as a serious act with continual touring and hard hitting music. Having shared the stage with bands like Destruction, Hypocrisy and Evergrey, the… Continue Reading →

Rabid – David Cronenberg (Arrow)

After confusing and confounding those that managed to see his experimental shorts ‘Stereo’ and ‘Crimes Of The Future’ David Cronenberg caught attention with his first full length feature Shivers in 1975. From there his creative juices really flowed with films… Continue Reading →

Vardan – The Night The Loneliness (Moribund)

I almost deleted the digital promo for this thinking I had only just reviewed it but nope that was last month and ‘Verses From Ancient Times.’ Vardan is already on his second album of 2015 and if what the PR… Continue Reading →

Aktor – Paranoia (High Roller)

Professor Black aka Chris Black of High Spirits and Dawnbringer fame is becoming something of a musical project whore just like a certain Swedish gent we know and love, which is great by the way. With each endeavour, there is… Continue Reading →

Paths – Beauty and Nihility (Wolfspell)

Ever get that sinking feeling? Paths would be very disappointed if you didn’t. Describing the sound as ‘deep atmospheric black metal’, the band’s mastermind has been perfecting his bleak, organic, Norse-inspired metal sound for a couple of years now and… Continue Reading →

Worselder – MMXIV (S/R)

Reading the promotional sheet for this short three track release had me marginally enthused as most bands try to make themselves sound different to everyone else and catch your attention from a journalistic point of view. With an album already… Continue Reading →

Cowards – Rise to Infamy (Throatruiner)

An album that’s every bit as ominous as its cover suggests; the artwork depicts a woman’s head tilted back and a hand placed on her throat – whether this is a means of harm or caress is anyone’s guess, but… Continue Reading →

Wende – The Third and the Noble (Moribund)

Released independently in 2012, ‘The Third and the Noble’ is actually a re-recording of Wende’s first demo (which precedes the album ‘Vorspiel Einer Philosophie Der Zukunft’). Here, it gets its first official outing via Moribund records. It is the lone… Continue Reading →
